The church is one of the landmarks of the founding of the city of Cuiaba, having been built in architecture of land around 1730 , near the waters of the stream of Prainha, in whose waters Miguel Sutil discovered the gold mines which would boost the region's colonization. Its facade, of great simplicity, is typical of colonial architecture and decor hides the Baroque - Rococo in the altars of the interior, with rich gilt and silver , with only those details in the country. It was first built with the technique of rammed earth has gone through several reforms, including one that turned its facade in a neo-Gothic , between the 1920 and 1980 , when it was reformed and redeemed colonial architecture. Listed in 1975 by IPHAN in 1987 by the Cultural Foundation of Mato Grosso tumbled and included in the perimeter of the Historic Center of Cuiabá in 1993, hosts the Feast of St. Benedict , the longest religious festival in the state.
